Becky Jerams is a writer and musician from Portsmouth, UK. Her first published novel The Songs You've Never Heard, co-written with Ellie Wyatt, blends story and real-life music into a unique 'booksical'. It was shortlisted for The YA Book Prize 2023, and featured in World Book Night and The Big Eurovision Reads campaigns.

Her 2015 self-published novel Reasons To Love A Nerd Like Me found a loyal following on Wattpad with over two million reads. It later became a multi-book series for Kindle, and is now re-releasing in a special 10th anniversary edition.

Becky lives by the sea with her husband and splits her time between fiction writing, songwriting, acoustic gigs, and working in a student art shop. Her songs have been featured internationally

Oh thank you so much! :)

Well, I have always been a fan of boy x boy romance stories. I am not sure why I love them so much, perhaps it is the forbidden romance aspect but I have always really enjoyed them as a reader. I know there is a big fanbase for these types of works online too so I decided to try my hand at my own gay romance in the hopes that it would find an audience. I wanted to write something with a positive message that might resonate with young people in similar situations. I also wanted to include lots of elements of things that mean something to me - music, headstrong female characters, geeky references etc. I basically threw lots of my favourite things together and what came out of the other side was Scotty and Vincent's love story!(less)

Yes! You not only had a tiny hand in it, you are the reason I am on here at all! :D Thank you so much! I have been wanting/meaning to get onto here for ages but I didn't know if I could add myself with just a Wattpad title. It's almost ready to go on Kindle and when that happens I'm hoping I can become a bit more active on here :)


Kudrat Kaur Awesome! Just noticed you got the Goodreads Author Badge thingie with "Reasons to love a nerd like me" :) Congrats!!!!! - (I'd like to think I had a small super tiny bit of a helping hand in that one :D )
again I said this before I'll say it again, regarding your casting choice for Vince - really really hot ^^
